Should I worry?

I have had my new ball for 3 weeks his is my first snake a 2 year old ghost mojave. I waited the first week to let him settle in then fed him 1 weaned rat he was a little hesitant but ate it no prob. This fri was his next feeding time and he slammed the rat in seconds. So he is a good eater and settling in well very easy to handle. My concern is that I have not seen or smelt urine or urates and he has not pooped. My temps are solid 80 cold and 90 hot and humidity is around 55 +/-. I give him fresh water each day after I clean his bowl. I have seen him drink from the bowl. My humidity was out of wack the first week/ week and a half I had him low about 25% but now his is husbandry is in accordance with the stats that I have read here. I don't know what to do should I stop feeding until I see a poop? Or continue to feed once a week? I don't want him to get backed up or have any health problems. Sorry in advance if this is a stupid noob question. Everywhere I have looked I am getting conflicting info from they poo once a week to once every 3 weeks to whenever they want. To not feed until I see poo or continue feeding its no big deal. Sorry for the long post I just want to give as much info as I can to get a solid answer and again sorry of this is a stupid question but I really cant get a solid answer from my research.

I really would not worry about it, at least not yet. Many balls, like mine, seem to mainly go during the shed. Urates are infrequent as well.

To repeat what you've read, they go poop when they go poop. My girls seem to poop on average about every 3 weeks or so. And when they do poop, you might mistake for another snake as they are usually huge! J/k about mistaking it for another snake but they generally are huge. Vicky took a poop a few days ago and I swear it was about 1/4 of her full length. :O

They'll poop when they're good and ready. The easiest way I have discovered to prod them into going is to clean their home top to bottom. Once you're nice and happy with it you're sure to get a big wet poo smeared up against the front. You may even hear when he goes, which is quite something. My little normal has woken me up from a dead sleep with the sound of him going both when his tank was still in the bedroom and after I moved him into the loft upstairs.

Lol same. My little pied girl let one rip so loud in the middle of the night, I woke up and thought someone was breaking in.

Awesome guys thanks I will keep up the feeding schedule and definitely not look forward to his not so little gift he's gonna drop me. I'm actually kinda counting my blessings that it's not too frequent sounds horrible lol. Is there ever a time that I should worry?... say 2 months or more

My young BP doesn't poop that often but once I set him up in his new cage, he let one fly in the corner. From what I understand, they utilize as much of their food as they can and don't eject it as often as you would think they should.

Sometimes a nice warm soak will do think trick. If he/she goes to long can cause issues like being impacted or calcium deposit forming

That is correct info. They go at varying rates. Some of mine go every 2 to 3 weeks, some go every 6 to 8 weeks (or more). It can vary greatly from snake to snake.

I would just keep feeding. On your next shed at the latest you should get a nice present from your snake.

Thanks guys I will keep up with the sniff test and stay on schedule with the feedings
